Hillary Clinton ads on UMNO news
I know, right now, most Malaysian sit in front of TV, watching the election’s result announcement, so do I. What do you think? Does your favorite MP win? While Malaysian election process has reaching it’s final stage, American election still has a long way to go.
In the US, internet is fully utilize to obtain support, distributing the agenda until collecting the donation. But the situation is slightly different in Malaysia. As far as I remember, I don’t see any Google Adsense advertisement related to political on the net, be it from ruling parties or opposition parties. Perhaps, this is due to our democracy process which is different from theirs. Furthermore the internet penetration rate in Malaysia still low compared to developing countries or even Singapore, our neighboring country.
Few days ago when I’m reading TheStar online, I found 1 Adsense advertisement about Hillary Clinton’s political campaign appear on local political news. I’ve screen shot is few days ago, but only now I have time to get it posted until today. The ads is about pledging for donation, to finance her campaign to be Republican’s presidential candidate. I click the ads which land me to her donation web page, but no donation from me however 
The contextual engine works well, matching the news with the advertisement. Perhaps local politician can used Adsense in the next election
